The victim was later transported to Froedtert by Flight for Life. His condition is unknown.

Police had blocked off a six-block perimeter, because the man was still inside the residence. Two schools near the incident were put on a soft lock-down, where class resumed as normal and extra personnel were posted inside the schools.
